Phipps Campground

Phipps Landing offers dual access to the Namekagon River with three established tent sites accessible by vehicle or canoe, making it ideal for both paddlers and car campers.

The campground features fire pits, pit toilets, and free first-come-first-served camping, though visitors should bring their own water or filtration and note that one secluded site is available. Located within the St.

Croix National Scenic Riverway near Hayward, it provides a convenient riverside camping option with direct water access for canoeists.
